The New Apartment

Dialog

Henry:  I am so tired of my commute to work.  Driving all those hours is just killing me.

Lance:  Yeah, I know what you mean.  I used to drive two hours to work each way.  But now I live within walking distance of my work.  It's great.

Henry:  You're kidding.  I didn't know that.  Did you move? 

Lance:  No, I got a new job near my work. 

Henry:  Well, I don't think I can change my job, but I am thinking about changing my apartment.  The one I have just isn't working out. 

Lance:  What's wrong with it?

Henry:  Well, besides being too far from work, I'm having some problems with my landlord.  He keeps raising the rent, but he never does any repairs.  Everything is breaking down.

Lance:  That's terrible.  Listen, I think there is a vacancy in my apartment building.  And my landlord is excellent.  And I'm sure it would be closer to your work than you are now.

Henry:  Really?  But is it expensive?  My budget isn't that big.

Lance:  No, it's not that expensive.  And it's furnished and the utilities are included.

Henry:  That sounds great.  I'd love to see it.  When can we go?

Lance:  How about now? 

Henry:  Sure.  I'll drive.
